Operations on land >25 Ha typically require an HGU (Right to Cultivate) land title — secure this before operating.
Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) compliance is mandatory and audited.
Many farming activities under 25 Ha are reserved for cooperatives and Indonesian SMEs (UMKM); foreign investors should choose larger-scale operations or processing-stage codes.
Indonesia's BUPM (Investment Business Fields) regulation places this code into one of five tracks. The track determines whether a foreign investor (PMA) can operate in this activity at all, and under what conditions.
KBLI 01270 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedules. A foreign investor may incorporate a PT PMA with up to 100% foreign ownership and operate in this activity directly.

Plantation hilirisation (palm-oil downstream, cocoa, coffee processing) is now a Tax Holiday pioneer industry. Singapore-headquartered agribusiness continues to lead inbound FDI, with Malaysian planters expanding processing footprint.
Sub-activities recorded under this KBLI in the OSS regulatory database. The classification covers any business operating in one or more of these areas.
From the official OSS scope definition for this KBLI class. Each item is a distinct sub-activity that falls under this code.
Emerhub is a corporate-services provider in Indonesia. We do the legal and regulatory legwork for foreign investors so you can focus on the business itself. Here's what the engagement looks like.
We confirm KBLI 01270 is the right primary code for your business, advise on secondary codes you may also need, and finalize the holding structure with you before any filing.
We draft the Articles of Association before a notary, register the entity with the Ministry of Law & Human Rights (Kemenkumham), and obtain the company's tax ID (NPWP). Under BKPM Reg. 5/2025, paid-up capital is IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 160K) — the cash actually deposited at incorporation. The IDR 10 billion+ figure many sources still cite is the total investment commitment per KBLI, realised over time via your LKPM reports.
Specific permits, application requirements and ongoing obligations vary by business scale and the sub-activity within this KBLI. We file these on your behalf — this section is for transparency on what we'll be handling. Switch between scales below; by default we show Large (the PMA scale).
Activities related to land processing, seeding, nurseries, planting, maintenance, and harvesting of plants for beverage materials, such as coffee, mate, and cocoa (coffee and cocoa cultivation)
Documents and capabilities you must demonstrate at registration
Compliance and reporting duties throughout operation
The authority that issues the license depends on your situation.
| Authority | Applies when |
|---|---|
| Regent/Mayor | Business located in the Regency/City |
| Minister/Head of Agency | Business located across provincial borders. |
| Minister/Head of Agency | Foreign Investment |
| Governor | Business located across districts/cities. |
PB UMKU permits sit on top of the main NIB and Sertifikat Standar — each is issued by a different ministry, and only when a specific operational activity is performed. This KBLI carries 1 candidate permit across 1 regulator; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.
Ministry of Agriculture. Applies if you produce, import, distribute, or sell animal medicines, vaccines, or feed; if you breed livestock; or if you operate a veterinary practice. A "veterinary control number" (NKV) is the entry-point permit for animal-product processors.
We file the OSS application with KBLI 01270 as your primary business activity, complete the risk-based assessment, and collect the NIB (Business Identification Number) for you — typically within hours of submission. You don't need to touch the OSS portal.
NIB is issued for the preparation stage. Commercial operation requires a full Operating License (Izin) issued by the competent ministry after a substantive review of the operator's capability, facility, and compliance. Operating with NIB alone exposes the entity to penalties, blacklisting, and contract invalidation. We prepare the application bundle, liaise with the competent ministry, and chase issuance through to the certificate. Statutory turnaround: 3 business days — real-world timing typically runs longer when site inspections or additional clarifications are requested.
Post-launch we run your monthly tax filings, quarterly LKPM (Investment Activity Reports), annual general meeting (RUPS), and any sector-specific reporting. You get a single point of contact and a monthly compliance digest — no Indonesian-language paperwork on your desk.

KBLI 01270 (Crop Farming for Beverage Ingredients) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for plant agriculture for beverage materials. It sits within Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries under the subgroup Growing of Beverage Crops (major group 01) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in plant agriculture for beverage materials as a primary or secondary business activity must select this code on its NIB (Business Identification Number). The selected code determines the licensing instruments required, the issuing authority, and the ongoing compliance obligations.
Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach uses the KBLI code to determine three things: (1) whether foreign investment is permitted and at what cap, (2) the risk-based licensing instruments required, and (3) the authority that issues each instrument. Choosing the wrong code can delay or invalidate your license.
Indonesia's BPS published the new KBLI 2025 taxonomy in early 2025. OSS, BKPM and the operating ministries have not yet adopted it — KBLI 2020 remains the active standard for business registration. This is what's coming for this specific code.
This code has been split in KBLI 2025 into specific codes for coffee (01271), tea (01272), cocoa (01273), and other beverage crops (01279). Please select the appropriate code for your business.
Until OSS adopts KBLI 2025, your existing registration under 01270 remains valid. Plan the migration alongside the OSS update; no immediate action required.
When OSS adopts KBLI 2025, we'll migrate your existing entity to the appropriate successor code as part of ongoing compliance — no action needed on your end now.
Talk to a specialistIndonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach assigns a separate risk level for each of the four business scales. The licensing instruments required (NIB, Standard Certificate, Operating License) are determined by the risk level. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale, so the rightmost column applies to most foreign investors.
KBLI 01270 (Crop Farming for Beverage Ingredients) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for plant agriculture for beverage materials. It sits within the Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries category in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).
Yes — KBLI 01270 is fully open to foreign investment. A PT PMA may operate with up to 100% foreign ownership, subject to BKPM Reg. 5/2025 capital requirements (IDR 2.5 billion paid-up + IDR 10 billion+ commitment per KBLI).
KBLI 01270's risk levels per business scale: Micro Medium-Low, Small Medium-Low, Medium Medium-High, Large High. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.
NIB + Operating Licence (Izin). KBLI 01270 is High risk at Large scale, so the Operating Licence requires substantive sector-regulator approval before the business can operate. Expect a multi-month review with technical submissions. One sector-specific PB UMKU permit also applies. See the requirements summary at the top of the page. Plus 6 basic requirements (KKPR) at the class level.
BKPM Reg. 5/2025 default applies: IDR 2.5 billion paid-up capital at incorporation + IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI registered, realized over time and reported quarterly via LKPM.
PT PMA setup typically takes 4-8 weeks: AHU registration (1-2 weeks), NIB issuance via OSS (immediate to 1 week), bank account opening (2-4 weeks). The licensing cycle for KBLI 01270 specifically takes 3 days at the Large business scale.
Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 01270 businesses pay the standard 22% PPh Badan; Super Tax Deduction (300% R&D / 200% vocational training) may still apply for qualifying expenses.
Authority depends on the investor profile. For PMA: Regent/Mayor. For domestic SME scale: typically Governor (for Provincial scope) or Regent/Mayor (Regency/City scope). Specific mapping is in §1 of this page.
Beyond the NIB, KBLI 01270 carries 1 PB UMKU permits across 1 sector regulator: Veterinary & Animal Medicine (1). Most operations only need 2-4 of these — the relevant set depends on which specific activities you actually perform; Emerhub maps the right subset before filing.
KBLIs in the same subgroup 0127: 01271 (Coffee Farming); 01272 (Tea Farming); 01273 (Cocoa Farming); 01279 (Growing of Other Beverage Crops). These are closely related activities — see the related-codes section below for full list.
